Penn Yan, NY
Contracted
The Homestead at Soldiers & Sailors
Mid Level
INTRODUCTION
Step into a pivotal Oncology Registered Nurse role that blends advanced patient care with the natural beauty and vibrant communities of New York’s Finger Lakes region. This multi-week assignment begins April 13, 2026, offering you the chance to influence outcomes for individuals navigating challenging cancer journeys, while collaborating with an interdisciplinary team that values your clinical judgment, empathy, and leadership. You’ll administer therapies, monitor responses, manage symptoms, and educate patients and families, transforming fear into confidence at every touchpoint. Penn Yan sits along the serene shores of Keuka Lake, surrounded by rolling hills, orchards, and vineyards. The region’s timeless charm—from sunset walks along the lake to weekend adventures in nearby Watkins Glen State Park—provides a restorative backdrop that reinforces the important work you do on the clinical floor. Beyond the local setting, you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your horizon through placements across the United States, enriching your experience and connecting you with diverse oncology teams and care models. This is your chance to grow professionally while delivering compassionate, evidence-based care in a community that treats patients like family.

LOCATION BENEFITS
Penn Yan offers a welcoming, close-knit hospital environment where you can build lasting relationships with patients and colleagues. You’ll experience the benefits of a smaller-city rhythm—less bureaucracy, stronger team cohesion, and the satisfaction of seeing the direct impact of your efforts on recovery trajectories. The Finger Lakes region showcases world-class natural beauty, with water trails, quaint towns, wineries, and seasonal festivals that invite downtime and renewal after demanding shifts. The area fosters work–life balance, enabling you to recharge with outdoor activities, local dining, and cultural experiences that reflect the region’s diverse heritage. For nurses who crave variety, there are opportunities to extend your assignment or rotate to other locations across the United States, unlocking new patient populations, treatment protocols, and clinical environments. This blend of local immersion and national mobility means you can enjoy meaningful patient care close to home while keeping your career journey expansive and dynamic.

ROLE SPECIFICS AND BENEFITS

- Administering chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and supportive infusions according to established protocols, with meticulous attention to safety and patient comfort.

- Coordinating care across multidisciplinary teams, including physicians, pharmacists, social workers, and nutritionists, to optimize symptom control and quality of life.
- Providing thorough patient and caregiver education on treatment expectations, self-care strategies, medication administration, and when to seek urgent care.
- Maintaining precise electronic medical records, documenting changes in status, and communicating critical information promptly.
- Participating in quality improvement initiatives, clinical trials discussions, and evidence-based practice enhancements.

You’ll also enjoy robust professional growth opportunities:
- Access to oncology nursing specialty training, certifications, and mentorship that accelerate competency and leadership readiness.
- Clear pathways for career advancement into charge nurse, preceptor, or quality-improvement roles, with support for credentialing and continuing education.
- Meaningful chances to contribute to program development, survivorship planning, and patient education resources.
- Potential for contract extensions that provide continuity, deeper team integration, and more substantial impact over time.

Competitive benefits include a comprehensive package designed to support you and your family:
- Weekly pay in the range of $1,964-$2,066, reflecting the value you bring to oncology care.
- Sign-on bonuses or shift-based incentives where applicable, rewarding your commitment and expertise.

- 24/7 support from a dedicated travel and clinical team, including travel coordination, orientation, credentialing assistance, and access to clinical leadership for any on-the-ground questions.
- Comprehensive travel resources, onboarding, and ongoing clinical support to ensure you feel confident and connected, no matter where your assignment takes you.
